ZWO 224MC Camera Cooler

thingiverse

First try to cool a ZWO 224MC planetary camera.It works with a peltier module, a W1209 module and a ventirad: in my case, it was a Intel ventirad and a TEC-12706 module powered by a 12V 1.5A adapter.I was able to cool down the camera around 0/-2°C following external conditions (ambient temperature: 19/21°C): -4°C set on W1209 Until now, I didn't face dew on lens.But my setup is a little bit weird: i mounted the camera on my finder and i used a plastic adapter to avoid temperature conduction between camera and finder. I tried to make it the more compact possible and it's not perfect.The sensor cap can be reworked to access buttons but once my target temp was set, i didn't feel the need to change it.Peltier wires holes can also be bigger.I added a little skirt to deflect hot air from enclosure : not sure if it's very efficient finally.
